Viking G83 Pool Cue

If you consider yourself a decent billiards man then a decent cue is worth your money. Stop wasting time with those crescent shaped shit sticks at the pool hall and start playing with a quality cue.

If you’ve layed down the cash to buy yourself a table for home then it’s even more important you’ve got quality gear around. After all – it’s all about the gear.

We’re striking our 9 Ball games with the Viking G83 Pool Cue. It’s an extraordinary cue with Pearl B-Icy White butt sleeve, inlay, joint rings and scrimshaw engraving. The forearm is made of bird’s-eye maple and the whole cue is stained in a smoke hue that just looks like it was made for a man how knows his game. Viking even offers the cue in 12-13mm shaft diameters and 18-21 oz cue weights along with a choice of colors for the linen wrap.

What this means to you: We know you’re gasping at the cost of this cue. Understandable. Don’t think of it that way. You’re buying quality gear for a quality game. And who’s impressed by weak breaks?

In 2011, Jimmy Chin climbed one of the hardest peaks in the world, Shark's Fin on Mount Meru. What's more impressive is that he filmed the adventure, then turned it into a documentary that just won big at Sundance.
